American consumers have been turning more cautious and pulling back on their meat purchases as higher rent and interest rates squeeze household budgets, hurting sales at multinational meat packers such as Tyson and Hormel Foods. The U.S. meat packer, which had bumped up meat prices last year, reported a 3% drop in quarterly net sales to $13.14 billion, below analysts' expectations of $13.59 billion, based on Refinitiv data. The biggest U.S. meat company by sales, Tyson has also seen its margins come under pressure as declining U.S. cattle herds force it to pay more for livestock, while a lingering drought has pushed animal feeding expenses further up.  ( 31 min )

Wall Street's main indexes ended the week lower on Friday with some investors taking profits after months of gains due to economic data, mixed earnings and rising Treasury yields. U.S. stocks have sharply rallied in 2023, with the benchmark S&P 500 clocking 16.6% gains year to date, fueled by optimism around artificial intelligence and hopes of a soft landing for the world's largest economy. Both Bank of America and JPMorgan last week ditched their forecasts for a U.S. recession.  ( 31 min )

Since China opened to foreign investment in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping, global firms have ploughed in hundreds of billions of dollars to buy and build factories for market access and cheap labour, bolstering the Chinese currency. A gentle downtrend in foreign direct investment gave way to a steep drop last quarter and inflows to China slammed to their lowest since records began 25 years ago, raising the prospect that the long-term trend is turning. Corporate leaders and their advisers say a shift is under way and the political concerns behind investment decisions are long term, which leaves the yuan facing pressure from what was long one of its staunchest supports.  ( 32 min )

Investor morale in the euro zone unexpectedly rose in August, ending three consecutive months of decline as inflation has lost some of its explosive power, but there are no signs of a lasting turnaround in sentiment, a survey showed on Monday. Sentix's index for the euro zone rose to -18.9 points in August from -22.5 in July, beating expectations of analysts polled by Reuters of a further drop, to a reading of -24.3. Germany in particular has become "the sick man" of the euro zone and is weighing heavily on the region, said Sentix managing director Patrick Hussy, with investor morale in Europe's largest economy falling to its lowest level since October 2022.  ( 30 min )

German industrial production dropped more strongly than forecast in June, according to data released on Monday, underlining the challenges faced by manufacturing amid a downturn in Europe's largest economy.

China's state planner hinted of stimulus over three press conferences convened last week, but investors were underwhelmed by proposals to expand consumption in the automobile, real estate and services sectors as well as extend loan support tools for small and medium-sized enterprises until the end of 2024.

But South Korean exports to China, a leading indicator for imports to the Asian giant dropped 25.1% in July from a year earlier, the sharpest in three months.  ( 30 min )
